A hand-held machine tool having a, in particular rod-shaped, handle element for an operator to grasp and having a machining head, which is movably mounted on the handle element by means of a joint assembly and which has an electric drive motor for driving a tool holder for holding a machining tool, wherein a bottom side of the handle element and a machining side of the machining head face a workpiece in a base position of the machining head, wherein the joint assembly is connected to the machining head in an articulated-connection region of the machining head, wherein a flexible suction hose for conducting a suction flow from the machining head to the handle element extends between the handle element and the machining head, which suction hose is fastened to an end region of the handle element by means of a first hose end and to a suction connection of the machining head by means of a second hose end.

A surface-treating tool is configured for coupling to an extension pole with opposed proximal and distal pole ends. The tool comprises a tool head including a rigid tool support having mutually opposed tool-support upper and lower surfaces. A pole coupling configured for selectively coupling the tool support to the pole distal end is affixed to the tool-support upper surface such that a coupled extension pole is pivotable relative to the tool support about mutually orthogonal first and second pivot axes. A tool pad includes a rigid plate with plate top and bottom surfaces and a resilient layer permanently adhered the plate bottom surface. The resilient layer includes an attachment surface to which a working material may be removably attached without tools. A pad fastener introduced through the resilient layer attaches the tool pad to the tool-support lower surface with the rigid plate between the tool support and the resilient layer.

A connection assembly for connecting a tool head and a further machine module of a hand-guided machine tool wherein the connection assembly includes at least two connection parts following one another along a longitudinal axis and each having a connection section via which the connection parts are connectable to one another.

A power tool is provided with a telescopic pole including a first pole configured to telescopingly move in an out of a second pole. A locking mechanism is provided including a first section configured to connect to the second pole and a second section configured to connect to the first pole. The first section includes a sheaf mountable on and surrounding at least part of the second pole, a resilient tab connected to the sheaf, and a catch formed on the tab. The catch is configured to locate within the recess of the second pole when the sheaf is mounted on the second pole.

A power tool includes a power head receiving power from a power source. A drive coupled to the power head extends along a longitudinal axis, and the drive is engaged with a connector. Various aspects relate to the connector. The connector includes an internal bore configured to couple to the drive to a shank of a working tool. The connector further includes an external lobe protruding radially outward from the longitudinal axis, the lobe having a locking mechanism configured to secure the second working tool in response to relative movement between the lobe and the second working tool in both an axial direction and a rotational direction.

A sanding apparatus and method for treating work surfaces with abrasive material is provided. The apparatus is a standard oscillating sanding apparatus having sanding pads positioned thereon. The pads are configured to apply abrasive action to adjacent generally perpendicular surfaces either simultaneously or one at a time. The pads may be contoured to conform to the exact angle between prospective work surfaces and thus a plurality of differently configured pads are provided. Each pad may selectively have a guide surface for gliding along one of the prospective surfaces.
